New player on the Northside

Grabbed the opportunity of the day off to wander down to Moore street. I wanted to check in with the guys in the Paris Bakery, who finally got their doors open on Monday. Although it's very early days for Yannick and co. the baguette we just had with dinner is testament to his baking abilities.  It worked as the perfect mop for the juices from the pork belly. Wonderfully French! 
The Bread Basket
First off the Paris Bakery is...a bakery, with a collection of breads all made fresh on site overnight - baguettes, sour-dough, walnut & raisin, apricot & hazelnut - matched with some wonderful madeleine, chocolate & honey tarts, lemon meringue pies, brownies, and soon to be followed with a selection of pastries. After that the Bakery is a cafe, soon-to-be restaurant and eventually completed with a function room.  
When I first got wind of the project I was not convinced of the Moore street residency. However, the Bakery I think will be a great addition to food life on the street which includes the fruit & veg. market stalls, FX Buckley butchers and further down the street the underground maze of the Moore St Mall, which is a hive of food activity. I will be keeping an eye on them as they develop and grow, and plan on making myself one of their best regulars....it helps that it is on my route home!

  1. Hey... Just found this blog post after googling "Paris Bakery Moore street". I was so impressed after calling in yesterday, that I had to see who is behind the venture. All I had was a chocolate eclair, but the entire set-up is superb. Must pick up some bread the next time I'm in there...

    Can't say I was particularly impressed with their prices and when I gently informed the lady at checkout that their brown bread were expensive in comparison to other home-made bakeries, she says 'You know where to go then' I must say I was stumped' Is it a crime to inform a propreitor of how their prices compare. She was so indignant and ill suited to dealing with people. Sorry won't be going there again despite how tasty bread might be
